Christian Party launches election campaign

Although not running a candidate in every seat the party is urging all prospective MPs to sign its 'Declaration of British Values'.

Members say this will let voters known "that whatever else they may accomplish in their political career, they will strive to uphold these precious and indispensable values".

Candidates will stand in several seats across England, Scotland and Wales but the part says its 'vision and contribution' will be to help the electorate decide how to vote.

The declaration will aid "every voter to vote for a candidate who upholds the Word of God - whatever their party allegiance," the party claims.

The party's website says: "Politics does not feature in the forefront of church teaching.

"We are disappointed that many churches avoid local or national politics. Many of the electorate have given up on politicians. Many people feel that their MPs do not represent them.

"When one brings an issue to one's MP, they say that 'I must represent all of my constituents', which is a polite way of ignoring your concerns."

A new website will also let the public see which of the candidates for the Westminster election are supporting 'British Values'.

The main issues the party will focus on are Christian conscience, British constitutional law, traditional marriage and sanctity of life.

In the 2010 election, the party stood 71 candidates, gaining 18,623 votes.
